System Description

The 3M™ GVP Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Assembly is designed to be used with certain 3M respiratory headgear, lter/cartridges,

batteries and breathing tubes to form a complete NIOSH approved respiratory system. When used in accordance with its NIOSH approval, these

systems help provide respiratory protection against certain airborne contaminants. See “NIOSH Approval” section of this User Instructions for

additional information on approvals.

The GVP belt mounted assemblies consist of a blower unit, lter/cartridge, waist belt and either GVP-111 nickel cadmium, BP-15 nickel metal

hydride battery pack or TR-630 lithium-ion battery. The TR-659 battery adapter and either the TR-656 or TR-657 holster are required when the

TR-630 battery is used with the GVP PAPR assembly.

NOTE: The BC-210 charger, used to charge the BP-15 battery pack, was discontinued and is no longer available.

The GVP assembly used with the GVP-111 battery pack is an intrinsically safe system for the following: Division 1, Class I; Group D, Class II,

Groups E, F, G and Class III. The GVP assembly used with the BP-15 or with the TR-630 battery pack is not an intrinsically safe system.

The motor/blower unit (i.e. turbo assembly) draws ambient air through the lter/cartridge and provides ltered air to the headgear via the

breathing tube. The GVP-111, BP-15 and TR-659 adapter (when used with the TR-630 battery) have a visual alarm to alert the wearer to a low

battery voltage state.

The 3M™ GVP Assembly is available with a variety of accessories and belt options. Consult the “Listing of Components, Accessories and

Replacement Parts” in this User Instructions for additional information including a listing of 3M™ GVP PAPR part numbers. Refer to the

enclosed 3M™ GVP NIOSH Approval Label for approved system congurations.

Use the 3M™ Spark Arrest Cover GVP-146 to help reduce exposure of the 3M™ Motor Blower GVP-100 and 3M™ GVP Cartridges or Filters to

sparks and other hot materials, typically resulting from grinding, welding operations or other “hot work”.

Airow Check

This process should be followed prior to each use. Check the label on the air ow indicator to determine which test circle to use for the

airow check.

1. Ensure the ball in the GVP-113 ow check indicator moves freely in its tube. Rinsing with clean water may help free a stuck ball. Allow the

tube and ball to dry prior to using.

2. Ensure that the lter selected is secured to the PAPR before testing airow.

3. Attach the appropriate breathing tube to the PAPR outlet. Exceptions:

• L-122 breathing tube: The 3M™ Adapter L-181 must be used instead of the breathing tube to check the airow. The GVP-113 ow

meter will not t into the end of the L-122 breathing tube.

• BT series breathing tube: The V-199 adapter must be used instead of the breathing tube to check the air ow. The GVP-113 ow meter

will not t into the end of the BT series breathing tube.

4. Turn the PAPR motor blower on.

5. Insert the tapered end of the airow meter:

a. L-181 adapter: Insert into the vinyl connector (Fig. 14) and hold vertically.

b. GVP-122, GVP-123 or H-115: Insert into the end of the breathing tube (Fig. 15) and hold vertically.

c. V-199: Insert into the end of the adapter (Fig. 16) and hold vertically using the thumb and forenger to cover the two breathing tube

locking slots in the connector (Fig. 17).

6. Locate the position of the ball in the airow meter.

Fig. 14 Fig. 15

Fig. 16

Fig. 17

7. Tight tting facepieces: The ball should be located in or above the lower (4 cfm) tight tting ow test circle.

8. Loose tting headgear: The ball should be located in or above the higher (6 cfm) helmet and hood ow test circle (Fig. 17).

9. If the ball fails to move fully inside or above the ow test circle, insufcient airow is being provided. Refer to “Troubleshooting” section of
